[Namie Amuro] The 77th Official Thread「FEEL」

[Moonstar]

I can't download....Do you have a stream or so for the album?^^

[jiarongisme]

OMG I'M SERIOUSLY STANNING NAMIE AND FEEL SO HARD RIGHT NOW. Literally ALL the tracks are amazing. Maybe except Poison and Let Me Let You Go. But they're still far from bad.

Omg I'll be putting this on repeat for the next few days. And then looping the album again when I receive the physical album.

[tenshi no hane]

I don't even care about the Engrish anymore, Let Me Let You Go is gorgeous <3

[emi♡]

I can't even deal with the mixture of straight ghetto dance, and just pure beauty...and with a piano ballad thrown in. Did she make this album just for me. Coincidence? I THINK NOT.

The songs are gorgeous. And they're so uplifting. Is it just because it's summertime, or IS EVERYTHING IN LIFE JUST PERFECT AND AMAZING.

I don't even care about the english. It's all just so ~pretty~. There's just all these colorful lights and warmth going off in my head when I hear everything.

There is stardust in my eyes for this album.


ugh and some of the songs are so perfectly mellow. I think this might be my favorite album from her. Even if some of the songs...aren't the strongest...they're just special somehow. The mix of sounds and feelings with her delivery and presence.

It's been perfected.

She hit this **** out of the ballpark.

La La La should have been used to promote this. Commercial opportunities galore with that song.

Life is perfect.

[BlackSilence]

ok so i am listening to it and i realize that i am enjoying it.... The arangements for most of the songs are really rich in layers which gets me. I guess if done right electro/dance can sound really really really good. And on this maybe just a couple of songs sound a bit cheap to me.

Absolutelly in love with: Rainbow ; La La La; Supernatural Love; Let Me Let You Go; Stardust In My Eyes

Will probably listen ocasionally but not impressed: Alive; Heaven; Can You Feel This Love

Would do without: Poison

And can i say that i absolutelly adore her vocals? Like even more than i did till now?lol

I guess Namie is going to be the only exception for me with all the computer generated sounds music. Way to go, girl!

All weaves in the Jpop game = Officially snatched.

BLENDA

Listening to FEEL right now... Well, it's just my first impression, but it's so much better cured than Uncontrolled! Uncontrolled was half her old style and half an attempt at a new one, not always well done. FEEL is so much cohesive and incisive in the new direction than the her last work!
I still think she has not mastered everywhere this new sound she tried, but, God, there's impressive stuff in here! I'm enjoying it a lot, it's indeed perfect for summer. And I'm actually very surprised at how everything sounds so compact once put together.
Really impressed despite myself for now.

She's the gift that keeps on giving.

I'm seriously sobbing over Stardust In My Eyes That song is utter pop perfection and possibly my favorite on the album, it's just everything i needed for the summer! My big sister thinks it sounds like a Pokémon song LOL. It's a crime that it doesn't have a music video..
Actually, all the songs should've had videos! She should've done the same thing Kuu did on Japonesque, i would die.

[Benikari47]

Btw, i made a cover for Let Me Let You Go & Neonlight Lipstick yesterday if anyone's interested!

This album is quite something.

This album has to grow on me a bit more. A lot of the songs sound too "America's Billboard Top 40" for my taste. It's a nice change for Namie and Japan but, I will not be adding this album to my physical CD collection. This album is more cohesive than "Uncontrolled" I'll say that.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rainbow: Your standard current Western pop song.

Poison: This song is a ratchet *** mess.

La La La: Sounds like something Rihanna and other American mainstream acts have done before.

Supernatural Love: Korea's K-pop idols just called. They want their song back.

Let Me Let You Go:

Stardust In My Eyes: Sounds very reminiscent of what certain bands like Motion City Soundtrack, Owl City, etc. have released in the past.


Favorite Tracks:
-Alive
-Can You Feel This Love
-Big Boys Cry
-Hands On Me
-Supernatural Love
-Heaven
-Contrail

agree with ya. this album sounds a lot like a western release (short lenght, dance upbeat tracks, a bit of dubstep and urban rhythm). but actually i liked it a lot and yeah, i'm gon buy a physical version of it asap *u*~
what i like the best about the songs is that they are most sang in english and dont sound fake.. the album is pretty cohesive and the songs fit each other pretty good!~ loved it, 5 out of 5!

[mizuki-7]

[pommy48]

Gonna make a quick summary of Namie's FEEL before I go flailing and rolling on the floor

1) Alive - such a great album opener! The way the beat just pulsate is crazy!
2) Rainbow - it's such a feel-good song! I can see why she named the album, "FEEL"!
3) Can You Feel This Love - it's really an annoying and repetitive song. It's like the happy version of Hot Girls >__> But it's not happy for me
4) Big Boys Cry - oh yeah, totally love this~
5) Hands On Me - meh, this song hasn't be able to grow on me >_< But the dance is hot!
6) Heaven - MY JAM! With 500 plays so far~
7) Poison - this song is freaking badass! The vocals doesn't bother me at all...It's like the naughty cousin of Violet Sauce!
8) La La La - I can imagine Kuu singing it better, but it's a nice song
9) Supernatural Love - I was expecting a lot out of this song. It sounds like it was for some Kpop girl group....It sounds like a good song for SNSD's Tiffany to annoy me with her rap
10) Let Me Let You Go - the tears! She sounds so raw! It should have been put last...doesn't really flow here~
11) Contrail - My summer song! I love it! Naoymt never disappoint
12) Stardust In My Eyes - Really western, but it's amazing!

All in all, Namie is the HBIC. Everyone can just hang up their weaves.

[marty]

I feel Poison is in FEEL what Hot Girls was in Uncontrolled. So of course, the world hates it, and I love it crazily, lol! XD
On another note, how could I not understand the amazingness that is Hands On Me? Bad me.

[Corvina]

Hm, I'm not impressed, this album isn't doing much to me.
After two repeats most of the songs sound pretty annoying.
Though Alive is definitely one of the best songs she ever put out!
Similar to Come, I'm a sucker for such songs!

Favourite songs:
Alive
Hands On Me
Contrail

Nice songs:
Let Me Let You Go
Big Boys Cry
La La La

Bad songs:
The rest, especially Heaven and Poison

Just like about the half, I won't buy it.

[Delicious n Bold]

Damn it leaked already.
That was earlier than I expected.
Has anyone's CD from CDJapan shipped yet?

I'm gonna wait till I get it to listen. It sounds like I'm gonna love it.
Namie is serving us some more 'western' trash, which is perfect for me. Even trashy music in general is perfect for me.

[freedreamer]

still waiting for a 320kbps to come out soon
but here are my thoughts

1)Alive - LOVE THIS! Play this in the car and gosh, it's just mindblowing. Would love more bass though haha.

2)Rainbow - This is definitely a feel-good song and there's some 8bit-ish game sounds that makes it so cute. I love her voice here. (Is there some japanese here?)

3)Can You Feel This Love - Didn't like this one LOL

4)Big Boys Cry - I did like this when it came out. Now it's alright. The music makes it really unique.

5)Hands On Me - This really makes me wanna move. Great track!!

6)Heaven - The opening sounds soooo 90s pop and retro. I love the electro though.

7)Poison - I think the chorus is so bada$$ HAHAHAH!! Is there Japanese here too? Yea! This is like a twisted cousin of Top Secret for me

8)La La La - I think this is alright lol. the music is nice but it's a bit too happy for me haha.

9)Supernatural Love - Whoa whats with the rap/talk section!! it's amazing and omg love the chorus!! This song is so unique. (yea LOL...i can totally see a K-Pop grp singing this song..like f(x)/2NE1)

10)Let Me Let You Go - I want the lyrics to this song soooo bad >< I love this ballad. It's so heartfelt and the lyrics, I can really relate to.

11)Contrail - This song really grew on me! It's beautiful and carefree I love it.

12)Stardust in my eyes - Ooo the opening sounds great. The western feel haha. Yea! the chorus sounds feel quite Owl City too. Beautiful closing song.

THIS ALBUM IS SICK!!!!!!!!!! I NEED CLEAR 320KBPS HQ!!! this album deserves that

[Jester]

I'm looking for official credit for every songs.
Great album anyway.

EDITED: My bad, I did a research and Zedd only done Heaven.
